I'd love to do a 5 lug conversion but it seems like to much work and money.

- C5 hubs
- camaro front rotors (hub bore opened up)
- V2 rear rotors (dust shield trimmed)

if you're doing a brake job or one of the hubs needs replacing it almost seems foolish to not even consider it.

At speed (140ish) on the back straight @ VIR in early November. This is actually a picture of a picture, and doesn't do the original any justice at all. The photo was taken by Sideline Sports Photography, and then I had them send it off to be printed on an 11x17" aluminum panel by a company called Aluminyze. The clarity of the photo on the aluminum is incredible - it ain't cheap, but I'm glad I did it.

have you priced out 5x120 wheels? they're astronomically cheap compared to 6x115.

Bio, when did you do your roof? Paint or vinyl? Factory spoiler or aftermarket version? Contemplating both.

i (a friend) did the roof (vinyl) sometime early summer i think. i might redo it next year sometime with a black brushed stainless that....i kinda freakin love.

and i'm not sure about the spoiler. it was on the car when i bought it. i know for sure it's bolted to the trunk and sealed because you can see where the underside of the trunk was modified to attach it so i know it was done after the car was purchased, but i didn't do the work so i don't know any better on what it is.

fweasel asked me to take some more pictures of the wing from some different angles so i'll just post them here. my opinion is that the car looks awful without it. also note that my car is just filthy and the lighting isn't good...not that the underside of the wing is painted black.

I may be bias since I have the same wing, but I think it is the best looking wing for the car.

Is it OEM or Spectre Works?

i believe it is an OEM spoiler. the specter works is a little different.
